I just noticed that bitmap images always get jagged edges when rotated in Corel Draw X5. I first thought it's just the editing preview on the screen, but I've noticed that the edges are visible even when exported to any bitmap at 300dpi. So now I worry if the jagged images will also be visible in print!?
note that imported images are all in approx 12MP resolution, so when I import them, I actually reduce the size by converting the photo to 300dpi bitmap with anti-aliasing ON. I tried rotating prior to and after the "Convert to bitmap 300DPI" command. The edges are always jagged. Other parts of the image besides the edges are well anti-aliased.
I have to do an online pdf report for a customer. But when I made the pdf through publish to pdf option the font looks jagged. The header is Kozuka and for the body calibri. I tried various options but results are the same.
When converted to outline it looks fine the jagge dends disappear, but cann't edit.
I drew a stone wall with the free hand tool and used a 1.0 line width, but since the ends of the lines are square I have jagged edges in places. I tried using the eraser but as soon as I let go of the mouse button what I erased pops back. I was thinking about converting to a bit map and smooth it out that way, but I need it as a vector file. So after I convert it and clean it up can I convert it back?
how to make beautiful floral designs. Whenever i try to design it takes hours to design it even when i am tracing from old ones. Especially these spiral designs. what are the calculations for designing these beautiful floral designs quickly?
I'm practicing using Coreldraw and made a logo with a transparent background. It's a combination of rectangles and text. I exported the logo as a png. Everything looks fine in corel, but when I upload it to the web the edges are very ragged on the rectangles and text. I tried it with and without converting to curves and the same thing happens.
So basically, I created coloured text inside Adobe Illustrator and however much I zoom into the text, the text always appears to have smooth edges. Once I click on 'Save For Web', the edge all around the text becomes rough and aliased. I chose GIF and PNG, but it still happens. The text is on a transparency background. The same problem applies to images when I am creating a logo.
I seem to be having a problem with jagged text when trying to design a webpage in PS. I have the resolution set to 72dpi because it is only for the web. However I have noticed that any text I add seems very jagged. I have tried applying smooth, criss etc which seems to fix it a little bit but not as good as it should. One strange thing I did notice was that I had added a text banner to my page which was jagged. Then later on I added another one and it seemed perfect. Im not sure what I did to the second one to make it better than the first lot of text I added.
I created a path with Curves with the pen tool.filled it in with a color light blue.than I use the paint bucket to change it to dark blue.This is when the curved lines become jagged, not smooth, uneven.
I have an outline of a graphic that was extreemly jagged. Im using a plotter to cut it out and its just way complex and tiny of a cut for the machine to do. Is there a way to have Illustrator maybe smooth those out by removing every other point or something?
When I have a cdr file and need to save it as a plt file for my plotter the saved file has several little straight lines to make a curve instead of one smooth curved line. This didn't start happening until I upgraded to Corel Draw x4.
When I want to delete the background and just have the object or person in the picture, I use the magic wand tool to delete the background then clean up with the eraser. BUT the outline of the object always looks jaggedy. This doesn't happen when I use photographs with the white background.
Is there some sort of trick I'm missing? Or do I just need more practice with the eraser tool?
I'm sure this is easy, I just haven't done much in photoshop. I made an easy button usining the polygonal laso tool so the sides could be angled. Can anybody tell me how to get rid of the jagged edges on the sides of my button caused by the tool?
what i want to do is get rid of the pixalated looking edges that are formed from making shapes and usinng the pen tool to make shapes. i want nice smooth edges.....
Yesterday I needed to design a quick business card for the band that i work for. It's super basic, just the band's logo on the front of the card and their web address on the back. The problem I had was that the curves in the logo were jagged and not smooth; I was only able to smooth the edges by adding a stroke to the logo.
My question is, how do you make curves not look all jagged? This is the version of the card that is being printed so you can see the logo.
As the title says, lately my photoshop has been displaying rotated images with jagged/distorted edges. Now, I have not had this problem previously in the 8years I have been using photoshop, I am sure there is a simple fix to this, which I haven't really tried to fix. Any help would be apprecaited. I'm wondering if it is my monitor..?
I have CS3 but just got the trial for CS4 now as well. I have been having a problem with photoshop CS3 for quite some while but accounted to Photoshop in general until I started using CS4 today. When I import a tiff (after working on the NEF/RAW in Nikon Capture NX2) into CS3, the image appears with very hard and jagged edges (eg. along the outlines of a face, cloth, etc.) instead of being smooth. In NX2, these edges are smooth, but not in CS3. Moreso, when viewing the same tiff in CS4, the edges ARE smooth and don't have this jagged or extra hard look. I guess this can also seem like it is extra over sharp. You can notice it at 16 percent, but also at 40 percent and more magnified as well.
i need help on text that i just cant seem to get smoth edges. i tried saving it as gif, jpg,tiff. the thing is that i need transparency, not for the web but for a restaurant menu, when i save as gif, i get extremely bad edges, now as jpg the image is ok but i have the white background. im doing the layout in publisher, where i could click the with BG as transparent but i still get jagged edges.
I know this is a common problem for beginners in animation, but I made researches about this subject, even reading my book "mastering mental ray", without success.

I have two main problems in my animation
1- Jagged edges (on the neon tube surrounding the decor)
2- flickering of the wireframe shader on buildings and the self-illum greeble reflected on the ground and other surfaces
I tried many settings playing with samples per pixel and filter params and even spatial contrast, and failed to get rid of that. (for example I tried 1/16 or 4/16, even 1/64 with mitchell or gauss filter, etc) (I tried lowering the spatial contrast at 0,01) (I also tried to render at a higher resolution then scaling it down... no success, jagged edges and flickering still present).
I am new to Illustrator and I just atempted my first vector drawing. The problem I have is that I finished all of the lines using the pen tool on all the outlines. I saved it as an svgz file and then I selected all of the lines and converted it to a live paint object to add in color using the live paint bucket tool. This all went well until at the end I noticed that along the outlines the color looked jagged along it.
Also I can see the outline of the pen tool when it intersects with other outlines with the pen tool. In the previous version of the Image before I converted it to a live paint object it did not do this.
Above is before I converted it to a live paint object.
I have a gif (as below) and I am trying to remove the strip of yellow you can see diagonally. the image was originally a fawn/yellow/brown colour, but using the 'Replace Colour' tool, I have managed to colour most of it in blue - apart from that yellow strip you can see.
When the image is magnified, the diagonal strip of yellow under the blue appears with the edges all jagged and it looks untidy. Is there a way to make them smoother, or should I begin by doing the whole thing in a different way? I am using Photoshop Version 8.
I'm working on a social media icon rollover png. I need the bottom row of icons to be slightly lighter than the top row for a mouse over effect. I know this is probably something easy I'm screwing up, but when I use bucket fill to change color, I get that circular jagged edge look.
What's the secret to changing the color of a circular object without the jagged edges?
Added attachment below where you can see the jagged effect - I just bucket filled with the lighter color.
